Sorry, this style is discontinued and won't be returning. While we introduce each style to stay forever, sometimes it's time to say goodbye so we can avoid overproduction and focus on refining our timeless, core collection.

A chunky retro trainer built on a piece of history. The off-white solid rubber sidewall-stitched outsole was first produced in the '90s and re-issued for us to build these Berlin Trainers on — the sidewall stitching, the chunky profile and the tonal detailing giving them that unmistakable retro-sport look.

The uppers are stitched-panel white vegan leather — our Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials) — laced through metal eyelets with extra-strong laces (100% recycled polyester) and metal lace tips. There's a second set of white laces in the box, so you can switch the look between the two. Inside, grey woven Tencel™ linings sit very soft against the foot — breathable and moisture-wicking, made from fibres responsibly produced from sustainably sourced wood — over a cushioned, memory-foam-topped insole for shock absorption and support underfoot.

They're the easy chunky trainer for everyday wear — with slim or straight jeans and a tee, cuffed chinos and a crewneck, or shorts in summer when you want a bit of retro bulk to ground the outfit.

Upper
Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials)
Lining
Grey woven Tencel™ linings – very soft against your feet, breathable and moisture-wicking to keep them fresh and dry
Insole
Cushioned layered insole – a soft memory foam top layer over a recycled PU base (20% recycled PU) cut to fit the shoe
Outsole
Flexible TR outsole with a light tread for grip
Laces
Long, extra-strong laces (100% recycled polyester), with metal lace tips (100% zamak — a durable zinc alloy)
Shank
Steel shank for stability and support through the arch
Hardware
Metal eyelets and lace tips — both 100% zamak (a durable zinc alloy)
Construction
Mounted (cemented) construction – the upper is lasted to shape and the outsole bonded directly underneath. The most widely used construction method in footwear, it gives a clean, flexible build, though the outsole isn't easily resoled
Water Resistance
Water-resistant for everyday wear – keeps you dry in rain, puddles, wet streets, and most winter conditions. Just avoid heavy saturation or full submersion.

D width fitting – a slightly wider fit with more volume than standard
Fit
Order your usual size. Half size? Wider width fittings size up, narrower width fittings size down.

Made with Italian bio-based vegan leather containing 62–66% plant-origin renewable materials. Produced in Italy using modern water-based, non-solvent processes, combining a viscose backing with a next-generation bio-based polyurethane surface.
Clean: Wipe the uppers and outsoles with warm soapy water and a cloth or soft brush, then towel dry thoroughly. Polish: A synthetic polish can be used to bring back shine and refresh the colour — any synthetic product should work fine, applied as described in its instructions. If your footwear has a burnished effect on the toes and sides (we apply a darker polish to some of our brown vegan leather uppers for effect), this is best reapplied by a cobbler, or at home using a darker shade of polish worked around the toes and sides. Drying: You can dry your footwear on top of or near a radiator or other heat source. Depending on the heat, it can take a few days to dry out the insides fully. Never put your footwear in the washing machine. Deodorising: Don't let your footwear stay damp between wears, especially inside boots, as this can damage the water resistance and let microbes develop, causing a smell. If this happens, dry the footwear thoroughly and use a footwear deodoriser until the smell stops. In extreme cases, wash the insides out with warm soapy water, then dry fully and reapply the deodoriser. Waterproofing (optional): You can treat the uppers with a waterproofing spray to improve durability, stain resistance and water resistance. We recommend doing this every 2–3 months depending on use — most standard waterproofing sprays work fine on our vegan leather.
